Luceti Town Meeting Cycle Year 5

[shadedsunlight]

Who: Everyone!
What: Town meeting
When: February 6th at 6 PM
Where: The school cafeteria
Summary: The village gets together for a town meeting. Let there be ideas, plans, and future festivities.
Rating:
With the help of some friends and friends of friends, the school cafeteria has been transformed into a meeting space. Rows of chairs and a few benches fill the space, providing adequate seating for whoever wishes to come to the meeting.

Along the back are some tables set with cookies, pastries, and tea, juice, and coffee for people to munch and sip on, before, during, and after the meeting

By the entrance is another table. On it sits a locked box with a slit on top, small sheets of blank paper, and a few pencils and pens. This is the message box, for anyone who wishes to express an idea or thought in an anonymous manner. The box will later be opened and all the messages inside will be read out loud by Ginia.

At the front sits a platform - one of the ones built for A Midsummer Night's Dream - with a table and chair resting on top. It's where Ginia will sit during the meeting, the extra height for the purpose of being able to see anyone who may be seated in the back row.

[Archie's starting to understand. This man has a similar aversion to sailing as Kennedy has to being a Navy man again. After a moment, he nods.]

Only if it becomes necessary.

[awhitecrow]

Y-yes, Mister Kennedy. Thank you.

[He actually manages a small smile and nods once to turn to go-- but not before giving a small, brief salute. A crook'd finger to the brow.]

[folklorist]

It's nothing to apologize over. [ A smile. ] The Mirage Ring was a little project of mine to create and mask things like dragons and the like. Spacial dimension spell also helped with that. Make rooms and things bigger than what they are. Helps hold a lot more students than you'd think.

[ A hum. ] But something like signalling between towers would be useful too. Who knows what could happen. If the journals stopped working...my that would rather terrible.

[averybadfeeling]

[What is this, you say? An opportunity to contribute to the community?

Enter one Jedi helper ready to help set up!]

[starfishlovesyou]

That sounds like a good idea, Fuuko wants to keep track of and remember every single person who wants to take part! Thank you Ginia-san.

[simplestgift]

[Archie's eyes widen, and he suddenly understands a piece of the puzzle.

What did the Navy do to this man?]

[averybadfeeling]

I would be willing to volunteer for watch posts and perimeter patrols in the forested regions, where visual contact is unreliable. The Force allows an alternative means of sensing a threat, and I'm certain there are others in the community who have similar non-sight-based means of identifying an intruder or threat in such terrain.

[shadedsunlight]

I'll make a note of that. Thank you, once more.

Kenobi, standing by.

[Pff, like Obi-Wan would miss this.]

Re: REQUEST: Crew and supplies for the Britannia

[markofthewise]

[Not that he'd been paying close attention to it, but powder gets his attention.]

Oh, that's me. Powder. I make it all the time for my bombs. But we don't get a lot of the components, usually. But, I know a guy with a circle and maybe we could transmutate some more.

[simplestgift]

Thank you, sir. Charcoal is easy enough. It's the sulfur and saltpeter I couldn't reckon out.

[crisisrain]

If there's no seats at the front by the time it's started, just pull one up from the back and sit at the side. Then you can keep bein' mysterious, but also have a great seat.

[See, you're not the only person who doesn't like attention Yuri but we men have to do what MEN HAVE TO DO DAMNIT.]

[shadedsunlight]

I'm surprised there hasn't been more town meetings. I'd like to hold more, to be truthful, once a season, perhaps, in order to address anything that might have happened in the previous months, follow up on plans, address upcoming concerns like weather or things like that.

[A wry smile.]

But I should probably see how this one goes before I make plans for the future.

[endgames]

Nara Shikamaru -- showing up on time but not early, possibly stuck around afterwards.

[markofthewise]

In the meantime, I'd suggest putting a few catapults on your ship. They might not pack the punch that a cannon does, but they get the job done.

[shadedsunlight]

The piano is different. I can focus on the music, not look out at the audience. Singing is... [Her smile fades slightly as she remembers how much Giles had worked with her, gently drawing her out of fear of singing in front of everyone with his gentle support and love. She wished he was here now.] I suppose singing is much like public speaking too.

Suggestion- Evacuation measures.

[averybadfeeling]

Sorry, I'm aware that I'm new here, so if there's any flaw in this plan feel free to let me know, but it seems to me that another potential plan in case the village is attacked might be to organize a series of hidden safehouses throughout the forests and mountains. If we had resources set up ahead of time, along with organized plans for evacuation, we could easily set up temporary, easily-portable shelters in the woods and defend them using guerilla tactics rather than risking a head-on conflict with a likely-superior force, could we not?

Omg everyone here is looking so sexy.

[...Catapults?

Forgive the captain here, Sokka. He's just going to stare, baffled..]

[averybadfeeling]

I would be more than happy to offer what services I may in planning out specific contingencies and action plans for specific situations throughout the city, as well as helping to develop SOPs for our security teams.

Also, I think it should go without saying that I am willing to volunteer my services as a watchman in my own region.

[averybadfeeling]

As always, offering my services in this regard. I would be willing to offer my tactical insight into various locales throughout the village, as well.

[fallenambitions]

Alexei Denoia - Mostly observing during the meeting. Probably won't linger after it's over.

[averybadfeeling]

I was able to recover an aquata breathing apparatus from the Item Shop shortly after my arrival, but have not seen more since then. That said, if there were some way to procure more it would likely make the underwater explorations far more efficient.

[markofthewise]

[Oh, that captain guy is staring. Maybe he doesn't know what catapults are. He may be from a world that never invented those.]

Trebuchets? Mechanical things that hurl objects in the air? The Fire Nation use them all the time.
